Visit Walsh Street for Material Worlds, a conversation exploring architecture through a time-based and ecological lens.
Bronwen Main and Frank Burridge (MAIN&FRANK) and Andre Bonnice and Anna Jankovic (Simulaa) join for this talk. This session reflects on material-driven approaches that situate architecture within broader environmental systems, from agricultural bio-regional thinking to embodied carbon and regenerative design. Drawing on research and practice, the speakers will present projects spanning domestic, public, and experimental work, including collaborations exploring hemp, earth, bamboo, and other bio-based materials. The discussion will consider how architects navigate testing, risk, and material specification, and how their decisions shape environmental outcomes. Grounded in practice, the evening reflects on the architect’s role as a mediator between materials, makers, and ecosystems.
